CPR is taken over by responding crews, and he is placed on a cardiac monitor/defibrillator. After several cycles of defibrillation, epinephrine, and amiodarone, the patient remains in cardiac arrest. His family has been performing bystander, and report that he suddenly collapsed just a few minutes ago. References: 1. Ramazan, K.,

For all the fancy changes over the year, the bottom line has always been to provide good CPR compressions and timely defibrillation. Sodium bicarbonate should only be administered in cardiac arrest for suspected sodium channel blocker overdoses. Pediatric defibrillation doses should be 2j/kg, 4j/kg. mg via syringe.*

She was never defibrillated. Drug-induced QT interval cannot be completely ruled out, but the tox consult found the she had definitely not overdosed and did not believe that therapeutic doses would do this. As was seen in this case — defibrillation and/or overdrive pacing may be needed. What do you think?

On the other hand, you could be called in to attend to the victim of a car accident or a shooting or a heart attack, drowning, mountaineering accident, or drug overdose. You may even have to deliver a baby! You can never predict what will happen over the course of any given shift.

This is pathognomonic of hyperkalemia (I suppose it could be due to a massive overdose of a sodium channel blocking drug, maybe). She was in shock with thready pulses. A prehospital ECG was recorded: Limb leads: Precordial Leads What is the therapy? I don't think that it is possible to say for certain, and it does not matter.

He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. Some episodes of PMVT would terminate spontaneously — but on many occasions, the PMVT degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.

The patient received 1 mg of epinephrine IV x2 with conversion of his rhythm to ventricular fibrillation (VF) for which he was defibrillated twice in the field. The patient is moved over to the stretcher and connected to the monitors and defibrillator. In our case, the patient had accidentally overdosed on drugs prior to being found.

In addition to the EMT skills above, paramedics carry emergency medicine that can reverse or greatly reduce the effects of anaphylaxis, breathing problems, critically low blood glucose levels, heart attacks, seizures, overdoses. In Advanced Life support (ALS) emergencies, a “single” paramedic or ER doctor can not deliver necessary care.

Gordon and Meyers ECG #1 is completely consistent with any toxicity producing Sodium-Channel Blockade ( ie, tricyclic antidepressant overdose; proarrhythmia from antiarrhythmics such as flecainide or procainamide or other agents, as listed by Dr. Burns at the above LITFL link ). There is a tall, terminal R wave component in lead aVR.

You must also pass your practical examinations, which can include things like HARE traction splints, manual airway management, or proper CPR and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) use. They had overdosed, and this was before the widespread use of Narcan. My First Call I became an EMT when I was sixteen.

Soon after the witnessed occlusion, the patient suffered ventricular fibrillation arrest, from which he was immediately resuscitated with 1 defibrillation. The note documents that the first view of the LCX showed 99%, TIMI 2 flow, but then (before intervention) was seen to fully occlude in real time (100%, TIMI 0).
